Hello,
Newbie here. Need opinions on the best way to control the speed of a 3V dc motor. I have tried a couple of pots but the control is to condensed...in other words all the control is happening within a quarter turn. The range of RPMs I am looking for is 15-40, so pretty slow. The motor I have is Radio Shack's # 2730223
This unit looks to do exactly what I want but it looks like a servo in the beginning of the video. Should I go that route? Or do I keep the motor I have and use gears to knock down the RPMs? Pretty confused.
In the end, I'd like this to be battery powered and fit in a small project box.
